Dear friends and colleagues,

This week our Wednesday Weekly is coming a bit short and on Thursday as an exception. We apologize for the inconvenience.

For next week’s colloquium, we are pleased to welcome Wolfgang Knöbl as a guest to our KFG. Also, we would like to draw your attention to a lecture series as part of a seminar that is being held by members of the KFG. And last but not least, we would like to point you to a Roundtable Discussion at the ReCentGlobe Annual Conference, which will be led by our director Christoph Kleine.

Thank you and have a great week!
